Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAnackā (अनच्का) (Cf. Asvarā) refers to “she who is without ac”.—Another term is anackā (lit. ‘(she who) is without ac’). Ac in the nomenclature of Pāṇini’s grammar denotes the vowels. So like asvarā it denotes a kind of sound that, devoid of vowels, cannot be articulated. This unarticulated or ‘unstruck’ (anāhata) sound is the sonic analogue of the photic vision of deity. Deity as this sacred sound is 'heard' by advanced yogis just as it is 'seen' as Divine Light. The feminine form of the word is not intrinsic. The male form asvara is also attested with reference to Bhairava. [...]
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
